A win here would relax me even further. The following 4 fixtures, Southampton at home - Hull away is the little block where points look most droppable. Not saying its mega hard and i think we'll navigate it ok, but its trickyish. If we get to Sheffield Wednesday still on top it's done, just give us the trophy.

I think we win the title. But I also don’t think Ipswich or Boro winning 7/8 out of 10 is out of the question. Both have gone on similar streaks and the run in focuses minds. I hope Ipswiches games bunching with the Soton game likely being moved will help but it could just as well mean they get a load while in form with a squad that can handle it.

I'm not really all that concerned with that fixture to be honest. They've been poor at home as of late.

The way the fixtures are falling with the three behind us all playing each other is our ace in the pack really.

A few more wins and with guaranteed points dropped it's going to be very hard to catch us.

In short, we more or less at the required run rate whereas the chasing pack is over performing significantly and still 5-9 points behind.

The final stretch is where we need to hit that top gear again to pull away. I’m pretty bullish that we’ll come out with 4 points this week.

If we can maintain the gap on third after the next two games we will be in a very strong posion. Once you get under 10 games to go playing catch up is difficult.

It's after the next 2 that the fixtures between Boro,Millwall and Ipswich begin so guaranteed dropped points

We’re at 3 ppg for the last 5, we can afford a win and a draw but confident we’ll win both, milwall have to make up 1 point every game on us

Ipswich now have fixture problems.
They still haven't rescheduled their match away to Portsmouth AFAIK and now their fixture v. Southampton on Good Friday is the weekend Saints play Arsenal in the FA cup QF

It’ll add up for them imo. I honestly believe Millwall-Boro-Ipswich will take lumps out of one another and we’ll win the league with a decent margin of 4+ points.

2nd Middlesbrough LOST 69pts
_____________________________
Millwall WON 68 pts

Hull WON 63 pts
Wrexham LOST 57 pts( 1 game in hand)


8 PTS to 2nd
9 PTS to 3rd
Elimination threshold: 12pts

One more happy update closer to the premier league!

Was not expecting Boro to drop PTS tonight, what a bonus!

We are a few wins away from being one of the richest clubs in world football. Can't get my head round it.

With elimination threshold now dropped to 12pts it's time to say goodbye to Wrexham and hull. Good luck to hull in the playoffs. Wrexham not so much

Let's be honest, the 3 below us are realistically in a battle for 2nd now, I doubt any of them are thinking about winning the league.

They'll be hoping for a catastrophic collapse by us, but in their hearts they'll know its highly unlikely.
The bookies are never wrong 1/12 to win outright 2nd favourites Middlesbrough 10/1. Those odds will get bigger and bigger

All things considered today Actually went pretty well for us. As well as it can be when we lose anyway

One game down and still 7 clear at the top. That's massive

Ipswich remains a threat but they didn't look great from what I saw Vs Sheffield Wednesday and we actually played alright even though we lost. Also Pompey fighting for their lives for this game in hand. Everything's still points to us getting promoted

And mentally for the other teams to see cov lose and they still don't catch up. That's huge. It happens in ligue 1 and bundelsiga when psg and Bayern lose, half time competitors don't take advantage and how we know that most years those two win the league. We are that team for this year at least

8 games to go. 3-4 wins may be enough. PUSB

Will feel better when we don’t lose away at Swansea
